I can do it. I run a small technology firm and as long as I have my laptop (built-in wireless broadband), my cell phone, and FedEx available, I can be anywhere. I just need a few hours a day here and there to make sure things are going smoothly.
I think I'll go ahead and apply but I'm sure the last contestant they want is a mediocre white boy wannabee.

Is it jsut me or is this the lamest kind of reality television anyone can think of. I mean, come on, there will be no drunk scenes, maybe you get a little romance, but what else besides that, some guy or gal puking. Fights perhaps??

I'm just starting in triathlons and can barely swim. That would surely be TV worthy...people would be glued to their TV's just watching to see if today is the day I drown. Therefore i should be chosen immediately.

I have many hobbies...make that too many.

Are you kidding? Put a bunch of type A+ people in with a smattering of type A-, and you have some drama! Plus, all the ego in one place for that long will lead to fireworks. I would assume they would try to cast some edgy people to add to the drama, perhaps even the opinionatedcyclist! Think of the fun with him in the same room as Paulo!

Maybe throw in some TnT folks for some added "spectacle."

I wouldn't consider the Tuna an athlete. But that's football.

The final race will be Olympic. But there will be a build to that distance, that will even keep the experienced Ironman guessing.

How much training/racing/coaching can you fit in 4 weeks? And how many shows would be made?
Comparing it with survivor, they're out there 5 weeks or so and have challenges every day or two. I just can't see 'training' being that exciting, or enough time (recovery) to have enough challenges in four weeks for it to be entertaining.
I hope you're succesfull though, I'm just throwing out some thoughts.

According to the producers, who are all triathletes, that has been thought out and taken into consideration. They told us no more, but to expect something cool, fun and entertaining.

Figured this is what would happen with this. Sorry if it's a repost...
Reality Show, Not A Reality
Written by T-Dot Thursday, 05 June 2008
"It was the little show that could," but it didn’t.
A bonk right at the finish line for the triathlon reality show.
Producers informed us that the network that they were working with passed on the concept for this year and decided to go with another sports related show.
“The interest and the market is there,” said one of the casting producers Steve Michaels, “we received over 500 e-mails from athletes looking to be on the show. It sucks, but we aren’t giving up, and are targeting another network or might try and raise the funds ourselves to air the show.”
If you applied to be on the show, you should be receiving a “Dear John” e-mail within the week.

The good news, if there is any, is the show is not dead. The network involved wants to take a shot at it next season. There were too many moving parts to try and get a show like this off the ground in time.
So keep on training and keep your eyes open, because they start production in February!
